In the RC Helicopter world the more channels you have the better the helicopter. Contrary to popular belief channels does not mean being able to control multiple devices with one receiver. In this situation channels mean functions and the more functions you have the more you can actually do with your radio controlled helicopter. A basic 2-channel model will give you the ability to control two servo mechanisms; rotor blade speed, for up and down movement, and rear rotor and directional controls for left and right movements. So your helicopter can go up and down and left and right and that is it, no other function will be available to you limiting your mobility. On the other hand a 3rd channel gives you an additional movement, which is cyclic control, giving you forward and backwards movements. With a 3-channel helicopter you will be able to move around more naturally and freely, also your landing will be easier and more precise because of the gained control you will get from that additional channel. So don’t limit yourself to basic movements because the only way you’re going to get a 2-channel RC Helicopter across the room is by throwing with your own hands.

I might have had bad luck as the first helicopter I tried for a few days to get it to fly. I charged it and with lights flashing it spun around on the ground yet never flew. SonicElectronix kindly replaced the product and the next one charged up and flew for about 2 seconds then persisted to stay floorbound and spin around similar to the first one... I followed the instructions for charging and also charged overnight per recommendations, yet no luck. I wasn't going to waste any more time or shipping and handling. So, now I have a cool looking fancy floor spinner (at least the gyro keeps it from tipping over). GREAT COMPANY! (not so great flying toy) - Maybe 3rd time's a charm? I will never know...

It is what is is; an awesome toy. I had alot of fun with it for the first several days, at which point all propellers (including replacements provided) were destroyed. If you can get extra props, do it and this toy will be amazing. I have never been able to control these copters but this one was really easy to use.

Tough enough to crash into a Lego tower? Tough enough to pick up reinforcements and deliver them to the battle of the Bionicles?

This tough.

This little helicopter is, of course, very light. That comes with the flying part. But it has stood up to more than 6 months of play already and is still spinning.

I was impressed with the quality of the thing. Of course, you could easily smash it if you chose, but it "punches above its weight," so that your natural caution when handling something this delicate is more than adequate to keep it in the air.

And the quality of the controller is higher than I expected for the price. It took just a couple of hours of "on the playground training" for my son to become frighteningly good at maneuvering this craft. The controls are responsive enough you can learn to control it, to keep it hovering, to pick up something from the floor, and . . .

. . . to occasionally torment your mom by having it suddenly drop from the ceiling to hover at just almost head-height. (not recommended, but a lot of fun. . . )

This was my son's favorite Christmas present. I like it as well. And it can recharge on-board batteries from an available USB port.

Great helicopter. We bought one for us and my husband's dad. It has brought us hours of entertainment (and our dogs love it too! haha). As many times as we have crashed it, we have had no issues with it, but we do typically fly it indoors.

My grandson was very disapointed at Christmas when he opened his gift and it was broken. We sent it back and you replaced it, but it got broke the first time he used it. I won't buy anything else like it.
